...BUSH'S BILL would allow--but not require--the President to seek approval for the National Security Agency's (NSA's) no-warrant electronic-surveillance program from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court. Bush has said he would seek the court's approval for the program, which he says targets only suspected terrorists calling or e-mailing to or from the U.S. Current law requires the government to get the FISA court's permission for each device--rather than each suspect--to be wiretapped; Bush claims his wartime powers override that law.

The undergraduate members of the student advisory group—Whitney...
...Well, web-seek and ye shall web-find. eBible.com (that's with a "B." It's not a food site), a free service owned by Godspeed, Inc., was launched last week, and according to Godspeed President and CEO Mark Sears, had almost 1 million hits the following Monday. It allows you to highlight your verses, and-even more sexy, in web terms- enables you to add and share your marginal notes with other users, initiating a kind of "Web 2.0" text-based community-building. However, if you don't happen to be evangelical you may not want to toss away...
